Gatecrasher

A strategy/thinking game with seven levels of increasing difficulty in which you have to drop barrels through a maze of gates into nine boxes.

The barrels appear at the top of the screen being pushed by a well-animated man. The maze is below, like tunnels in the ground, and can be scrolled up and down to change the layout of the gates. The barrels bounce down through the gates, switching them as they pass to the boxes at the bottom.

Good News

P. Requires some brainwork.
P. Nice animation on the barrel roller.

Bad News

N. Basically a simple game.
N. Not enough variation in task.
